How to Draw and Color a Manga male face! [Step-by-step]

Hello , youtube .

Welcome back to my third video of this series .

Today , we will be drawing a front view male character in manga style .

Once again , I'll be following my manga workshop tutorial book .

All you will need for this tutorial is a pencil and an eraser and of course a paper .

So let's begin similar to the first tutorial .

The basics are the same start off by sketching a rough circle , then add a vertical line to divide the circle in half , add a horizontal line at the end of the circle which will be the nose line , add another line which will be the chin line allow for a larger space than the female head because male manga characters tend to have longer faces .

Next , I will start outlining the job .

Usually the chin is not as pointy as the female characters .

Unless your character is a young boy , I will then sketch the neck which has to be thick to convey a masculine look .

120.01 --> 180.369

Remember that male characters tend to have smaller eyes than female characters .

I have moved to sketch the other eye , try to make them similar a skill which comes with practice .

Next , I'm drawing the eye Iris .

I got it mixed up in the first tutorial .

It's actually called iris .

Then draw the highlight circle which is the light reflecting on the eyes .

I will draw the pupil now and shaded a bit darker .

Next , I'm driving the eyebrows .

It's better to make them a bit thicker than female characters .

Draw the nose in the nose line as shown and then the mouse underneath .

Next , I'm erasing all the guidelines and adjusting the sketch just a bit .

Mhm And it looks good that way we don't need to draw hair , do we ?

OK .

So you're telling me that you don't like , I'm a big fan of one punch man , but it's all right .

Let's add hair so that everyone is happy .

I'll give them a sports hair band .

I don't know if that's what they call it , but it's just cool .

Now , we venture into drawing the hair since I gave him that sporty band , we'll give him some sporty hair too .

Notice how the hair strands of male characters are usually stiff and they're less wavy than girls manga characters .

Again , it adds to their masculine look , decide on where you want to part your character's hair and outlines as strong .

I've extended the hair beyond the initial circle to give it more volume .

Now I'm erasing the circle guidelines , fixing the length of the flying hair strands , final touches and then we're done next .

I'll leave you with the time lapsed video to outline with favorite Castle Brown pencil and I will color with soft pastels just to try them out and just see how it's gonna look .

I wasn't planning to color it to be honest , but I just wanted to see um if I can use soft pastels to color without them being the secondary um tools .

All right , everyone .
